Features: The origins of flower arrangement can be traced back to ancient times. Since humans began to live a farming life, they had close contact with plants, flowers, and trees. Driven by their innate love for beauty, they gradually used flowers for decorating vessels, fabrics, or themselves, placing them in their hair, gifting them to friends, thus forming the primitive form of flower arrangement. According to archaeological findings, there are two potential origins of flower arrangement in the world. The flower arrangement in Western countries originated from ancient Egypt. As early as 2500 BC, the Egyptians used lotus flowers to decorate dining tables by placing them in bowls and bottles. The origins of flower arrangement in Eastern countries include the legend of offering flowers before Buddha in India, as well as the folk tradition of using cut branches for flower arrangements, both of which are yet to be verified.
